  • Health Care: Should The Debate be a Target of Humor?

    In these uncertain times, should we be joking about our future? I made an ''equal-opportunity'' satire called THE DEATH PANEL that satirizes both extremes of the debate.

  • Language, Science, and Satire...

  • Re: A sorry state

    Curragh makes a similar point to mine, only better and more concisely, and provokes a longer, more confused reply from jsgilm. One that attempts to refute the charge of jingoistic irrelevance with a fresh dose of, er, jingoistic irrelevance. According to which, literary recognition is but ''a sort of phantom strength'', a poor surrogate for ...

  • The New Communist Manifesto

    I'm sure you're all going to enjoy driving this country off a cliff. However, I don't want to go. I'm just glad to see the list in print, because normally liberals are duplicitous in their actual motives. When you cause the destruction of civilization as we know it--and we are all living a Darfur-type lifestyle because of your policies and ...
